If you are looking for some great sushi in the Raleigh area then Sushi Mon is your place. It is…read moreliterally a Hidden Gem. It is tucked away in an apartment/office complex off of Glenwood Avenue right near the 440 intersection. The food is always fresh and high quality. I have loved everything that I have tried and always go back for more. The place is cozy and not too big which gives it a speakeasy vibe.

We ended up parking by the regions bank building and walking across the street. To locate the front entrance of Sushi Mon you'll proceed into the office building and the entrance will be off to your right. Walking in the restaurant feels modern, upscale, sleek, intimate, and trendy. Since we arrived for lunch during the week they were running a few lunch specials. I ordered the sushi combo (6 pieces of nigiri and a Sushi Mon hand roll) with a miso soup. The miso soup was a pleasant surprise and was delicious quite filling as it contained cabbage, salmon, and mushrooms. The 6 pieces Nigiri was also well balanced and had a good selection of sushi (amberjack, salmon belly, cooked shrimp, etc.). The Sushi Mon hand roll was good but had a bit of heat to it. Overall, visiting Sushi Mon for lunch was a good experience and I'd likely return if I'm in the area

Overall a good experience.

I had a date here a few weeks ago and the food was no what you would expect but it was FANTASTIC!…read more I say it is a mix between Italian and Asian food. We got the chicken curry flatbread and the sokiyaki linguine. The curry pizza was very good, and I'm not a huge curry fan. The sokiyaki linguine was actually tremendous. I would eat this every day if I could. And the egg on top was a game changer. This place is very unique, but it is definitely worth it!

I had another better known local ramen shop in mind, but saw the reviews and that this place had an…read moreinteresting vegetarian selection, so I decided to give it a shot. It wasn't crowded, but it was doing a lot of takeout for a ramen spot (generally a food best enjoyed fresh). The mala ramen (a mix of spicy and tingly sensations) that I sought delivered on the premise. It was a fascinating flavor mix, with some harsh notes that would be a discovery for those that haven't had mala before working well because of the balance of salty and savory flavors and some nice greens and sweet corn. It was unique and I enjoyed it. They had some appetizers and things that I wasn't hungry enough for, but I did wash it down with tea. It was a very reasonable price given how the hipster ramen market has gone. And they had enough menu options that returning would be worthwhile. I ended up going to the other local ramen place anyway the next day, and I would say that both were really good. You can't go wrong.

Best AYCE sushi / hotpot restaurant I ever for awhile. This is in North Carolina and the prices are…read moredefinitely reasonable. My friends and I been here twice since we came to visit NC. The service is decent. The first time we visited during the holiday, the waiter we had was great. He was very attentive and helpful with our order. Recently, the second time was okay. They were bit busy, so whenever the servers were placing our plates down it felt like a bit of messy in terms of food placement. It doesn't look presentable. It felt like they just grabbed the food and put them onto the plate and serve dishes to us. But overall, the flavors of the food and broth of the soups we had for our hot pot was delicious. The restaurant is clean and big enough tables for everyone I feel. We will still come back and eat here when we come and visit NC again in the near future.

Wow! Another amazing anniversary at O-Ku!…read more My husband and I have a personal tradition of having dinner at O-Ku every year for our anniversary. It's especially meaningful to us because it's where we had our first date many years ago. This year, we were greeted with the warmest smiles by the hostess, and shortly after, Ariel welcomed us with such genuine warmth. She even remembered us from our previous visits, which made the evening feel even more special. Our server, Itcel, was absolutely amazing. Thanks to her thoughtful and detailed descriptions of the menu, I felt inspired to try a new dish--and I absolutely loved it! A huge thank you to the entire O-Ku team for making our anniversary so special year after year. We're already looking forward to our next visit!

I was especially pleased to find an item that included uni (sea urchin) on the menu. This is an acquired taste but a longtime favorite of mine and I haven't come across it at a sushi restaurant in many years. This is an incredibly elevated take on Japanese food that is unlike any sushi restaurant I've ever visited. The dessert menu is extensive (far more than just mochi ice cream) and each pick is completely unique and probably something you've never had anywhere else. Our server was wonderful and even brought an assortment of lemon and cucumber slices for our water. My only negative is we thought the hostess was a little bit rude.
